Setting up NIS on Centos 8
by Mark LaPierre 10 Dec '20

10 Dec '20

Hey Y'all, I found this: https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_8&p=nis&f=1 I've been told in the past that NIS should not be used because of some supposed security issues. Can someone site any authoritative documentation concerning the security issues extant in NIS? My plan is to set up NIS and NFS on my home network server where I plan to host all the local home network /home directories. I'll use automount on all the other nodes to mount up the home directories when a user logs on. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre ****

ContOS 8 is dead. Viva Rocky Linux!
by Lists 10 Dec '20

10 Dec '20

The list is swamped with news about CentOS 8 dying in a year and becoming stream Linux. IWeve been here before, folks. I remember when Red Hat Linux disappeared to become the Feodra / Red Hat Enterprise we know today, which gave birth to White Box Enterprise Linux, Scientific Linux, and CentOS. WBEL and SL slowly faded and CentOS won out. And then CentOS, eventually folding into RedHat, promised everyone that it had the support of Red Hat - now part of IBM. Well, now we're back to the big announcement: Red Hat (IBM) is going to mix it up again. And now, as before, come the clones: Rocky Linux has been announced... https://www.reddit.com/r/RockyLinux/comments/ka0qlv/ meet_rocky_linux_new_rhel_fork_by_the_original/ If history is any guide, you'll change a line somewhere in /etc/yum.d and then run yum update to switch over. That's how I switched from WBEL to SL to CentOS, way back in CentOS 3 or 4 days. (I don't even remember which one anymore) The more things change, the more they stay exactly the same... Ben

Missing intel/sof/sof-cml.ri for CentOS 8.3
by Kay Schenk 10 Dec '20

10 Dec '20

Hello all-- I recently did a bulk update from 8.2 to 8.3. I am having some odd issues with it not recognizing my NVIDIA Quadro P1X00 graphics card properly. In graphical mode, it only shows ONE display resolution and also my system can not find firmware -- intel/sof/sof-cml.ri Any idea about what to do flor either of these issues? Thanks. -- "Don't let anyone dull your sparkle." ________________________________________ MzK

dnf script to cherry pick updates and maintain RHEL compatibility
by Frank Cox 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

Here's an idea, though I don't know if it would be practical. I assume that at some point everything that goes into RHEL and its "official" updates travels through the Stream ecosystem beforehand. So what about the idea of maintaining (somewhere) a list of official updates to RHEL as they are released, and then have some kind of a dnf enhancement or script that reads that list and updates a local Centos installation using only the rpms on the list and ignoring everything else. Stuff that's released to Stream would be downloaded and installed at the point where it has been released for RHEL and not before. That would (I think) keep your Centos installation in sync with RHEL. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Stream questions
by James Szinger 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

I have a couple of questions about CentOS Stream. 1. Is there list for update announcements? Something similar to updates(a)fedoraproject.org. 2. Since both CentOS and EPEL are Red Hat projects, will Red Hat provide an EPEL version compatible with CentOS Stream? Jim

CentOS Stream & Release Notes / Documentation
by Chris Schanzle 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

One thing I have not seen discussed is how users will be notified of changes to functionality and new features in CentOS Stream. With Stream being on the leading edge of a release as opposed to following, will there be some mechanism where changes are blogged about, Beta release notes, or something similar? Thanks again to JohnnyH and the rest of the team for a great ride.

Today's Topics: 1. CentOS Project shifts focus to CentOS Stream (Rich Bowen) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2020 09:08:05 -0500 From: Rich Bowen <rbowen(a)redhat.com> To: centos-announce(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS-announce] CentOS Project shifts focus to CentOS Stream Message-ID: <e67aae14-83d8-1d69-5333-2a208e71f023(a)redhat.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next year we?ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Meanwhile, we understand many of you are deeply invested in CentOS Linux 7, and we?ll continue to produce that version through the remainder of the RHEL 7 life cycle. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/#Life_Cycle_Dates CentOS Stream will also be the centerpiece of a major shift in collaboration among the CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs). This ensures SIGs are developing and testing against what becomes the next version of RHEL. This also provides SIGs a clear single goal, rather than having to build and test for two releases. It gives the CentOS contributor community a great deal of influence in the future of RHEL. And it removes confusion around what ?CentOS? means in the Linux distribution ecosystem. When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option will be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases. If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options. We have an FAQ - https://centos.org/distro-faq/ - to help with your information and planning needs, as you figure out how this shift of project focus might affect you.
